Building an operational Coin3d/SoQt environment on MinGW is non-trivial and not actively supported by the Coin3d developers. We present our findings here based on developing under Windows 7 (64-bit) using the latest MinGW 32-bit release with GCC 4.5.2

			== Coin3d ==

			Building Coin3d was relatively not as difficult as building SoQt, because Coin3d is relatively self-contained.

			<source lang=sh>
			tar zxvf Coin-3.1.3.tar.gz
			cd Coin-3.1.3
			./configure --prefix=/home/john/install_temp
			make -j2
			make install
			</source lang=sh>

			== Qt ==

			Building SoQt requires the Qt development environment to be installed on your machine. We installed the latest 2010.05 version of Qt, which was installed in its default location <tt>c:\Qt\2010.05</tt>.

			== SoQt ==

			Building SoQt on Windows 7 via MinGW/MSYS requires some tricky setting of environment variables. We found that the following worked:

			<source lang=sh>
			export QTDIR=/c/Qt/2010.05/qt
			export QT4_LIBS="-L${QTDIR}/lib -lQtGui4 -lQtCore4 -lQtOpenGL4"
			export QT4_CFLAGS="-DQT_SHARED -I${QTDIR}/include -I${QTDIR}/include/QtOpenGL -I${QTDIR}/include/QtCore -I${QTDIR}/include/QtGui"
			export PATH=$PATH:${QTDIR}/bin
			</source>

			Then, to configure the build,

			<source lang=sh>
			tar zxvf ~/SoQt-1.5.0.tar.gz
			cd SoQt-1.5.0
			./configure --prefix=/home/john/install_temp
			</source>

			We finally saw the output:
			SoQt configuration settings:
			Open Inventor brand: Coin
			Static Materials: Yes
			Installation Prefix: /home/john/install_temp

			To complete the build:

			<source lang=sh>
			make -j2
			make install
			</source>

			Testing is continuing. We hope to provide an automated installer containing the resulting DLLs etc.
